Yesterday presented us with a fine example of First Class style, as the Queen navigated her way back to London from Sandringham, where she had spent her annual Christmas break.

Boarding the 10.54am Great Northern train service from King's Lynn station promptly five minutes before departure, Her Majesty wrapped up in a charcoal grey Angela Kelly coat with symmetrical stud detailing. Known for her co-ordinating ensembles, the same hardware could be seen peeping through her coat fastening on her underlayer.

This is not the first time the Queen has worn the detailed cover-up. June's 2015 state visit to Germany saw her call upon the sober-hued coat for a trip to Belsen memorial site.

Indeed, this is not the first time HM has called upon Angela Kelly's services as a designer. Kelly has acted as her personal assistant and senior dresser since 2002, and is often described as the Queen's 'gatekeeper' owing to their close relationship.

"I don't know why the Queen seems fond of me - because I don't give her an easy time!" Kelly has said of her role as curator of HM's wardrobe. "We are two typical women. We discuss clothes, make-up, jewellery. We say, 'Would this piece of jewellery look nice with that outfit?', and things like that."

Kelly, who is in charge of a four-strong team of dressers, used to design clothing under her own label, Kelly & Pordum, alongside the Queen's former in-house dressmaker Alison Pordum. "I design the clothes and Alison Pordum and our team make them," she told The Sunday Telegraph in 2007. "It all started because we designed one or two things for the Queen which she liked, and one thing led to another."

Yesterday's Angela Kelly ensemble was offset with a polished pair of black loafers boasting the same gold Horsebit detail as the Gucci loafers that are currently in favour among the fashion set. HM's classic choice of footwear is likely to come from Anello & Davide of Kensington, where she buys her other signature slip-ons.

Naturally, her studded tailoring was complemented by a signature top handle handbag (Launer London is her go-to label) and silk headscarf. Though the print on the grey-blue silk is not visible, Her Majesty has been known to celebrate corgis and other canine patterns on her headwear. Of pulling together the accessories, which create a wonderfully light-hearted foil to her look, Kelly once told The Telegraph, "I do think she values my opinion, but she is the one who is in control. She always makes the final decision."

Come commuter o’clock tomorrow we’ll return to this image of the Queen in all her studded splendor. If HM can manage a pop of pink lippy on the Great Northern line, so can we.
